自転車で西陣を通るRiding through Nishijin, the weaving district of Kyoto, with camera in hand, we shot this on the go.
The street, Teranouchi Dori, is actually quite attractive, in a Kyoto messy way.
The telephone poles and wires are hideous, but the streetscape itself is terrific and full of late afternoon life.
Teranouchi has many small, interesting temples, and the Orinasukan Handmade Fabrics Museum is just up and to the right from where this photo was taken.
The young man is just finding his groove as he begins to speed up a bit on the down slope just east of Senbon Dori.
In the distance, and headed towards the camera, is a mother, mask on; behind her on a smaller bike, a young girl is keeping pace.
It is evening, around 5 pm, so we are guessing the man is a college student on the way home. The woman and her daughter are perhaps going shopping for the evening meal.
